here i am in washington, dc having spent the day exploring the national museum of american history after a brief, albeit depressing stop at the national aquarium.
at the national museum of american history, i saw the star spangled banner under restoration, and actually cried... it was so moving... i saw a display dated 1954 in which two children have moved, and are standing in front of a green, wooden paneled station wagon with a small kidillac car on the lawn... and i laughed thinking back to my days in memphis, tennessee when i was six...
all and all, a wonderful, though very cold day walking around pennsylvania avenue and 14th and 15th streets. ate at two grand restaurants...
i ate breakfast at old ebbitts grill and a late lunch at les halles where i had tomato soup and a selection of french cheeses with bread and butter and a kir royal... yum...
later, i spent some time at grand station shopping for my daughter... and finally reached my destination of gettysburg with my other/better half...
